~ A Bit About Consent
“Because
of what appears to be a lawful command on the surface, many
Citizens, because of their respect for what appears to be law,
are cunningly COERCED into waiving their rights due to
ignorance.”
--US.
v. Minker, 350 US 179 at 187
What
is CONSENT?
Simply
put, consent means to allow. Like saying, “O.k. you can
search my car but you won't find anything."
Here's
a real life example:
My
family and I were traveling across Oklahoma in a Three-cylinder
Geo Metro.
We
had stopped to help a turtle that had been struck on 1-40.Goin'
down the road feelin' bad for this Turtle whose shell was busted
open, some Roofus Okie Deppity Sherruf pulls us over for two over
the recommended highway velocity.
He
said that he was going to just give me a warning but he asked if
I would step out of the car (what a great bargain!)
The
next thing I know, I'm sitting in his passenger seat explaining
to him that it is my PATRIOTIC DUTY to refuse his search of our
DWELLING-HOUSE.
He
then informed me that where he comes from, refusal is cause for a
search with a dog. (he must not have come from any of the
UNITY-STATES of OUR WORLD.)
Next,
he separated me from my wife to see if we had solidarity or
conflicting stories and then lied to her about the dog signaling
for drugs.
Over
our OBJECTION in the 104 degree heat of the Summer, pregnant
Momma, kids, and a broken turtle on the side of 1-40, this D.S.
rummaged through half of the contents of our DWELLING-HOUSE
and finally gave up when he found the unopened package of dried
henna with Hindi writing all over it and let us go with a written
warning(confession/evidence of rights violation as far as
I'm concerned).
Would
you like it if that happened to you?
Well,
that's about what I've got to say about consent.
